Baihakki Khaizan is a centre-back for Geylang United and former captain for Young Lions.

He was part of the team that won the Tiger Cup in 2005 and the 2007 ASEAN Football Championship. Then captain of the Under-23 team, he led the Young Lions out for the 2005 Southeast Asian Games in Philippines and also won a bronze medal for the 2007 edition in Korat, Thailand. He has the honour of being the first player to earn his first cap under national team head coach, Radojko Avramovic.

He nearly missed out playing for the 2007 S-League season after MINDEF refused to release him to play as he was serving National Service. However, he got the green light after a few games into the season. In 2008, again, his army conscription clashed with his football career, and thus he missed the first few games of the new season for the team that he newly joined, Geylang United.

He is engaged with Singaporean flight attendant, actress and singer, Norfasarie. They engaged on the 1st of April 2007.
